International Diploma in Interior Design

An interior design enables a student to look at a space through the lens of a designer. The fundamental skills of a student in drawing, design concepts, material technology and design history are polished. The knowledge of technical and aesthetic principles builds a foundation for space planning, colour, materials, and finishes. Moreover, the student will learn how to communicate their design both verbally and visually.
A year-long diploma program is divided into two semesters that undertake a consolidated teaching plan and hypothetical design projects. These projects resemble live design projects in every aspect thus requiring students to build all the skills a designer needs to come through a real-life project.
